well, russ's nephew dylan and niece nichole were in town visiting from virginia so i decided to take a break from the blog. nichole left to go home last week since she had to go back to work, and dylan left just this morning. just like that they're gone, and we miss them already.
they have been coming to visit the family in jacksonville just about every summer for the last 5 years or so and as they get older each year, i keep thinking that this year will be the last. eventually they'll be "too cool" to spend their summers with us, ya know? (hahaha)
we squeezed quite a bit in while they were here, but i always feel like it's never enough. it's not easy keeping older kids entertained!
dylan stayed with us, and i've joked before about how he's like our third child (although not very realistic in age...) because he fits right in with us. the kids absolutely love playing with him, russ has his buddy to hang out with in the evenings, and i get someone to talk to and keep me company during the day (aside from the kids).
all in all, we had a great visit, and i think dylan would agree as well :)

it was miserably hot and the flys were even more miserably annoying, but we made the best of it.
